Thousands of South Australians love nothing more than to head to the cricket in summer and we're offering free public transport to all matches so that everyone can get there safe and hassle free.
We are proud to partner with SACA to offer free transport to all cricket fans. Supporters were able to enjoy free travel on our trains, trams and buses to see the victorious Strikers WBBL side go back-to-back, and they'll be hoping to see the BBL team enjoy similar success this season.
Simply show your ticket to the driver or staff member and jump onboard.
As put by South Australia Cricket Association CEO Charlie Hodgson
This is a really exciting announcement that will see all cricket fans able to attend the cricket without having to worry about parking or cost of transport.
SACA is passionate about sustainability and finding ways that we can reduce our footprint, and this is another great way for us to limit the number of personal vehicles on the road.
Cricket is a sport for all and we can't wait to see everyone at the iconic Adelaide Oval this summer.
